EDNavigators uses the latest technology to

simplify the process of navigating the educational maze.

Custom College Plan (This a portal, specifically for you, where you research colleges, create an application plan and manage the application process.)

Khan Academy (This site offers math practice/ tutorials and excellent tutorials on other subjects as well. EDNavigator students get a list of customized goals and concepts to learn and practice.)

Quizlet (Online learning and quizzes to prepare and practice for standardized tests)

Acceleread App – use the free version of this app for an introduction to the process of and skills needed for speed reading.

Spreeder: a free online speed reading software where you can copy your own text and practice reading it with custom speed and grouping (set speed and grouping preference in “settings” under the passage) – I have no experience with the paid version of this program. I think the free version should be fine for practicing.

College Results Online (Here you can sort schools you are considering by cost, graduation rates, demographics and so much more – a valuable and worthwhile website)

College Express (This site requires that you create a free profile but it is worth it. The Lists and Rankings tab here is my favorite. It allows you to sort schools by many different categories depending upon what you are looking for.)

College Navigator (This site is created and updated by The U.S. Department of Education Institute of Education Sciences National Center for Education Statistics. It allows you to search and sort colleges and can be a good starting point to finding your best-fit college.)

CampusTours – I found this to be the MOST comprehensive site. You can click on tour, website, map, video (YouTube). The site also gives stats on the college.

YouVisit – This offers comprehensive and impressive high quality photos and video (UC Davis uses this) A student/model stands in corner of screen and narrates a walking tour. There is a map in the upper right corner so you can see where you are on campus.

Institutions Using SAT Subject Tests (This list comes from the College Board. Check the specific school website to find out specifics of how the tests are used and how many are recommended or required.)

College Use of AP Scores (search by college to see how each institution uses AP scores..for credit? for placement? for admission?…)

FairTest.org (This site includes a list of 850 four-year colleges do not use the SAT or ACT to admit substantial numbers of bachelor degree applicants. These schools do often require additional essays, minimum GPAs or other supplements to the application. Check the fine print carefully.)

College Affordability and Transparency Center (This site is created and maintained by the US Department of Education. It includes The College Scorecard, The Net Price Calculator Center and The College Affordability and Transparency List.)

FinAid (Provides an excellent overview of financing college and much more.)
